Nonlinear Dynamics in Economics, Finance and the Social Sciences

Encompassing the current research on the topic, this volume illustrates instances of theoretical nonlinear dynamical systems in economics, finance and the social sciences. Topics covered include structural change and economic growth, and economic policy.

Over the last two decades there has been a great deal of research into nonlinear dynamic models in economics, finance and the social sciences. This book contains twenty papers that range over very recent applications in these areas. Topics covered include structural change and economic growth, disequilibrium dynamics and economic policy as well as models with boundedly rational agents. The book illustrates some of the most recent research tools in this area and will be of interest to economists working in economic dynamics and to mathematicians interested in seeing ideas from nonlinear dynamics and complexity theory applied to the economic sciences.

Shows a broad range of applications of the theory of nonlinear dynamical systems to economics, finance and the social sciences Interesting for both economists and mathematicians Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
